I was a super shopper today!

I headed out to the St. Vinnies here in Madison, Yes there are a few of them but I went to the one on Willys, one of the largest ones. This place is amaZING! anyways I headed to the furniture department to see what they had.

You see we have been looking on Craigslist for furniture for the extra bedroom for sometime now and everything is a bit pricey, even on there! but here is the break down, all furniture was half off!! so I got a full/queen bed frame for $4, one full headboard for $1.50, and two bedside tables for $5 each = 15.50 for all the furniture I need for that room, minus the mattresses!

I'm currently debating to paint this used furniture white or black... right now I'm leaning toward Black... trust me I have mock ups made in photo shop of each color it could be.... ^_^

I was able to bring home the bed frame and the two side tables and clean them out, the head board we will have to go get tomorrow with his truck....

I'M SO GIDDY (these are the two bedside tables!)

Hello Beautiful

How times have changed and how things that once were OK are not and no longer carry the same feeling or intent.  When you think of the word “woman” and do you automatically think bitch or hussy, baggage or bit? According to various traditional dictionaries, synonyms for “woman”, which came as a bit of a shock, and possibly more insightful on why certain generations use words such as these to describe a woman. Today at my place of work a gentleman came up to my counter and said "Hello Beautiful" to me. Now, this customer does come in several times a week and is not a total stranger when I'm at work but still. He is in his 50-60s he works either in construction or as a big rig driver, not that any of this is very relevant but it is a generational thing I have noticed amongst folks that speak like that. "'Hello, gorgeous'; 'hi, honey bun or sweetheart, can you get me a coffee?' No man would ever be called sweetheart, ever, in the workplace," T...

Rock, Paper, Control

The feeling of no control. No control over my mental health, my weight, or my physical health. I like to have things planned and organized because that give me some control in my life. I feel though, like those little things are just pieces of paper with a rock on them on a windy day, soon they to will be out of my control. I once had control over my health and weight, but that was nearly 14 yrs ago. Each year I advance in age I loose more and more control over those two things. No Dr. or specialist seem to know why. Back when I had control, my weight would fluctuate but nothing substantial. I was a ball of anxiety and stress back then as well, so nothing there changed. I was more active in those days, doing all the things all the time. Not sure if that was to hide from my brain weasels or having to go home and be around my mother. In college I had around 4 to 5 part time jobs, 16 to 18 credits a semester, homework for both art and academic classes, a significant other, a flourishing g...
